1111 is the port number for your camera (this port must be open and forwarded in your router to reach it from the outside world)

If your ISP uses a DynamicIP address then your IP address from the internet will change from time to time (mainly whenever you reboot your router). If this is the case you can configure your router to use a dynamic host service such as DynDNS (see www.dyndns.org). Basically whenever your routers IP address changes it will automatically update the DynDNS people. The DynDNS people then give you a web URL which maps to whatever your IP address is. So for example on your phone you could enter:

Re: OUTSIDE WEB ACCESS TO WVC54GCA

If you can't configure your router properly to forward the ports, it just won't work from the outside. This is the issue with many people since there are so many different firewalls, cable modems, DSL modems and routers.

TZO is doing some beta testing on a new piece of software that can avoid the port forwarding issues. They are currently taking applications if you are interested, it's free and they are providing free TZO service to customers that help test the new IP Camera software

Re: OUTSIDE WEB ACCESS TO WVC54GCA

i have spent hours reserching and setting up the camera only to find out it won't work with TZO on the WWW. I have done the port forwarding and set the camera to fixed IP address as per the tutorials . I am on Centruylink DSL with Linksys WRT54GS2 router. Is there any way to make this work or have I completely wasted my money and my time?

Re: OUTSIDE WEB ACCESS TO WVC54GCA

I have a WVC54GCA and was using a WRT54G router. I use DYN DNS supplied host name http://harmonvlog.org/ to access my camera. It has been working fine until I purchased a new Linksys router. (E2500)

Now, I cannot access the camera. The only thing that changed is that I had to rename the router (was linksys - default) to something new b/c Linksys support cold not get me connected without changing the router name and password.

I set up port forwarding on the router and put in my informaiton on the DDNS tab in the router set up. I've refreshed my IP address through DYN DNS.

When I try to access the web address above, I get

Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to harmonvlog.org

When I put in the IP address,

Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to xxx.xxx.x.xxx

Any help would be appreciated. Step by step would be very helpful. I've had this working for a few years and rely on this a great deal, so getting it working is important. Again, any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.
